Meekness and Majesty : Rediscovering Jesus and Changing your Life

Jesus laid aside his majesty and 'emptied himself' and took the form of a servant. Focusing on this theme, R T challenges us to live in true humility - 'Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.' He looks at the mystery of Christ being fully God and fully man and Christ's vindication and exaltation and what that means for us

Missiology Behind the Story

Jonathan Andrews

In the twenty-first century the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has faced many challenges – conflict, changes of governments, terrorism, trauma – yet new opportunities have opened up for local churches to demonstrate the love of God and bless their communities. This book provides a fresh look at the theology driving Christian mission and at emerging ministry models by addressing ten aspects of missio Dei in the Middle Eastern context. Subjects such as church planting, discipleship, media, and peace building are introduced with their historical background, and contemporary stories and case studies of transformative work in the MENA region. As the book examines these topics we see how mission in the Middle East is no longer “from the West to the rest” but is now characterized as “from everywhere to everywhere.” All Christians will find in these contributions important biblical principles for their own context to follow Jesus Christ and bear witness to Him. Readers are also reminded that hardship does not have to be an obstacle to the church living out the mission of God as salt and light, and there is much the global church can learn from the activities of Christians in MENA countries. While each chapter in this book focuses on a particular aspect of mission, churches must be holistic in transforming lives and to this end, societies, and this book is a gift from the MENA church to the rest of the body of Christ.

More to the Story

Jennifer M Kvamme

What does the Bible really say about identity and gender, dating and sex? Are its teachings out of date and repressive? Or are they the way to joy and contentment? Long-time youth worker Jennifer Kvamme knows teens are grappling with these questions. In this book she helps readers cut through the cultural confusion and find answers to questions like: why does God care what I do with my body (if I’m not hurting anyone)? why does it matter what pronouns I use? why is sex “good” in marriage but “bad” before it? Isn’t love love? is the Bible really against gay marriage? Rather than listing dos and don’ts, this book looks at the whole story of God’s love for us to give readers an essential backdrop for the Bible’s teachings on sexuality. It will help you navigate wisely complex issues around dating, sex and gender. You’ll not only learn how to honor Jesus in this area of life but why he can be trusted to bring the kind of lasting joy and contentment that “sexual freedom” can’t... and why there’s hope even if your experience of sexuality has been painful, complicated or filled with shame. Each chapter includes reflection questions to help you think through these issues and apply them to your own life, as well as a discussion guide for youth groups. You will be encouraged to trust Jesus with your deepest desires as you follow Him in all of life, including your sexuality and relationships.

Ordering Your Private World

Gordon Macdonald

God has a calling for every Christian. He has also added appropriate and varied giftings. So how come so few achieve their potential? People set themselves up for defeat by skimping on inner development: failing to deepen their understanding of call, they spread themselves too thin or drive themselves to burnout. Now refreshed with up-to-date examples and references, Gordon MacDonald's book encourages readers to borrow from the workplace proven time-management and planning skills in order to free up space for spiritual growth. He then suggests key subjects that need to be covered to attain to those qualities of peace, resourcefulness, focus and balance that have adorned the lives of saints past and present.
